Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 193 Inscription
The Drama Guild disappeared quietly in a corner where no one cared.

Most people don’t realize that the New Drama Guild has become the New Drama Guild.

The troupe is still the same troupe, but the guild management has completely changed.

However, people have recently discovered that ticket prices at various theaters have become much cheaper.

Because there are no longer high licensing fees, the operating costs of theater companies have dropped significantly.

Grandpa Karina set a pricing standard for the theater troupes that joined the guild, with different ticket prices corresponding to performances of different sizes.

Being an artist is different from being a pure businessman, as there is a certain amount of idealism in it.

If you are doing business, and the costs increase due to various reasons, leading to price increases, and then the costs go down, don't think about lowering the prices that have increased.

There is no reason for a businessman not to have so much profit for no reason.

However, what Carina's grandfather did was not without benefits. The theater industry is now showing a trend of recovery. The guild's income is not as much as before, but it has attracted a large number of new audiences to the theater.

By removing the label of drama as high-class entertainment, the audience was successfully expanded, so basically no theater troupe opposed it.

On the contrary, a small number of viewers objected, saying that if everyone could afford to watch drama, then what was the point of them watching drama.

Another thing that has attracted a little attention is that many properties belonging to the old drama guild were put up for auction again after being confiscated when the guild was disbanded.

It was auctioned off by the court.

The number of properties auctioned off was staggering. Many of the houses were nominally guild branches, but it was obvious that having eight branches in one city was not normal.

In fact, it is for private use by the guild's top leaders, and the tax is lower than if it is registered under their own name.

The Drogo Group also came to pick up the bargain, mainly by buying back the copyrights of those traditional dramas.

I was not very keen on buying it at first, after all, today’s drama guilds do not rely on traditional plays.

But since no one wants them, the prices of those copyrights are too cheap.

Sometimes it’s like this, you didn’t plan to spend money, but when you come across something super cheap, you feel like you’d be losing out if you don’t buy it, and suddenly you have the urge to consume.

It was the same when Drogo was a human. There were many games in the Steam library that I had purchased but never opened, but it was because I was impulsive when I saw Shi Di.

The copyrights of thousands of plays were acquired for less than 200 gold coins.

Just as everyone was happily licking the old Drama Guild bag, Aisha brought news that made the dragon even more excited.

Xiao Mo's team's intelligent inscription prediction system has passed preliminary testing and is ready for acceptance.

Two days later, it’s the acceptance day.

The 400 seats in the academic hall located on the outskirts of Shuangta City were all filled, and many people were even standing and watching.

Those who don’t know might mistakenly think that there are stars performing.

However, the people in the audience were not just fans chasing stars, but the backbone of the Drogo Group responsible for research and development.

The R&D team in the Drogo Group is very mobile, a bit like an adventurer's guild. They often form teams only after receiving a mission, and have a high degree of freedom in forming teams.

So when there are project presentations, people from other teams are allowed to visit.

First, you can give opinions from different perspectives.

Second, they can understand each other’s levels and strengths so that the team can be reorganized when there is a new project.

The inscription system is a project second only to the magic energy machine in importance at this stage and has attracted the attention of almost all R&D personnel.

Everyone wants to know whether this system, which claims to be able to completely reveal the mysteries of spell inscriptions, is as magical as it is said to be.

Even Yuno, Moore and others who focused on science and technology came to the scene. They believed that if inscriptions could be predicted, then mechanics, materials, chemistry, etc. should also be able to be predicted.

Xiao Mo stood on the podium, feeling a little awkward. He had never spoken in front of so many people, but he still insisted on giving the introduction and presentation himself.

"Begin when you are ready," Drogo said.

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "From now on, we no longer need an inscription mage."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience. Inscription Mage does not refer to a mage from a certain school, but a type of mage.

Their job is to comprehend the inscriptions, the smallest units that make up the spell models.

Different inscriptions have different functions, such as the most basic inscriptions representing several major elements, and exclusive inscriptions that constitute the spell effects of different schools.

The birth of each new inscription will inspire a large number of new spells.

Nowadays, as more and more inscriptions are known, it is becoming increasingly difficult for inscription mages to achieve results.

An inscription mage may only be able to comprehend one new inscription in his entire life, but this is considered lucky. Most people may remain unknown throughout their lives.

So far, all schools have deciphered a total of 1124 inscriptions, the most recent of which was discovered 13 years ago.

Some people even assert that the road of inscription exploration has come to an end, but there are still some mages who insist on this path.

"The intelligent inscription prediction system has learned the comprehension process of all known inscriptions and can make predictions autonomously. The predicted inscriptions are tested by the mages, who then report back to the system whether they are usable."

Xiao Mo introduced the general operating principle of this system.

"So far, the probability of the predicted inscriptions being usable has reached 91%. For the School of Illusion, 67 new usable inscriptions have been obtained, and other schools have not yet been tested."

The projection in front of the hall showed 67 new inscriptions, with their effects noted next to them.

67 has exceeded the total number of new inscriptions comprehended in the past two hundred years.

The mages in the audience looked in disbelief.

It's not that I question whether these inscriptions are actually usable, because the projection says that usability testing was done by Flynn and El.

There is no one on this continent who is better at illusion than them.

Rather, I feel that my rationality has been challenged.

I never thought that magic could be accomplished in this way, and it was hard to accept for a while.

It was as if they were still trying to cross the sea on a small raft, and suddenly a steamship several hundred meters long passed by.

Xiao Mo continued: "In the process of developing this system, we also found an interesting function that can parse the packaged runes into inscription sequences."

Then he demonstrated.

Input a simple lighting rune into the system, and soon a row of inscriptions will appear at the output end.

However, the people in the audience did not immediately realize what this function was used for.

Any mage apprentice knows what inscriptions the lighting rune is composed of.

Only Drogo's eyes widened suddenly.

Compiler? This can be used as a compiler!

Wouldn't it mean that when constructing spell models in the future, we no longer have to deduct one inscription at a time?

A super unexpected bonus.

For a long time, the Zhuoge Group has been "programming" in a way close to assembly language, which is inefficient and difficult.

This can barely be called a compilation only after the birth of the Visual Inscription Workshop.

The traditional way wizards construct spells is not much different from punching holes in paper tape.

And now, we can see the beginnings of advanced spell language.

Xiao Mo's next words confirmed Zhuo Ge's idea, "As long as this system is confirmed to be feasible, in theory, we can directly use runes to construct spells. This is easier to understand, learn, and transplant."

“However, if you don’t understand the inscription, it may not be conducive to mastering the essence of the spell.” El said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter!" Drogo stood up suddenly. "This system must be developed. Not everyone needs to master the essence of magic, but this system may allow everyone to master magic."

And so, on an ordinary afternoon, the major historical process that was later known as the First Spell Revolution took its first step.
